So I've been wanting my dream snake species since I got into snakes, but I never thought I would get one because of their temperament. GTPs are known to be a vicious species, but when I went to the Iowa herp show he was the only GTP there and the guy sold him to me for about $150 less than he should have gone for. He was still pricey though! That's another reason I wasn't sure about getting a GTP! I might try my hand at breeding them in a few years time.

I'm not done with his tank, it needs some fake plants and the perch fixed, but I'm letting him settle in before I bug him anymore.
When I put him in his new home, he looks huge stretched out. He's 6-7 years old and 6 feet long. Besides the fact that he's mean, it's hazardous to handle them because their spines are so fragile.
I misted his tank and he was not happy. I couldn't tell you how many times he has tried to bite me already! Luckily he is fairly slow moving so it's easy to get out of the way. He doesn't care one bit about the dogs or cats, but if I come near he gets all huffy!
